The Private Practice Business Academy

I guess I have always been a person that believed if you didn't like something you have to be a part of the change, so I have been involved with the private practice section. I was on the board of directors, served a three year term, came off last November and am still involved. I can tell you that the job is large. It just kills me when a practice says, "Well, APTA is supposed to market us." There is a level of marketing and PR going on, although it could always be more. But I believe what the private practice section has been trying to do is to create tools to empower practices to market promote themselves, work with pairs, and I think if you watch the media and you follow health care reform and Obama care, whatever side of the aisle that you live on, you know that the problems are incredibly complex. No matter how right you are on an issue, it doesn't' mean that you get your way.

Hey everyone, this is Doctor Joe Simon from the private practice business academy. On the call with me today is a good friend and associate Sameer Kumar esquire. So Sameer is on the call with us today, and he is basically going to chat with us. We are going to have a conversation about how to start a business the correct way. He is obviously a lawyer, and he started his own practice as a lawyer, but on a shoestring budget. We are going to go back and forth and discuss different techniques we have both used in our lives starting multiple practices that have generated over six figure incomes but basically started with nothing. So Sameer, great to have you on the phone. Let’s get started man. Tell the audience a little bit about yourself.

Hey, everyone. Welcome to this episode of the Private Practice Business Academy. This is your host, Dr. Joe Simon. And today, we have a very special guest, a friend of mine who has worked with me in the past. She is Kelly Lease — Dr. Kelly Lease — and she is the owner of Kelly Lease Physical Therapy. We’re graced by her presence, because we’ve got someone that has actually figured out how to start a practice inside a corporate office, which many practitioners in the past have approached me, and approached many other consultants, and asked how do we get started in this. So let’s pick Kelly’s brain and find out how everything started. Kelly, welcome to the show.

Please tell the audience a little bit more about yourself.

Hey, everyone, this is Dr. Joe Simon from the Private Practice Business Academy. On this episode we have a great interview lined up for you with Dr. Lisa Holland from Belly Guru, LLC, and she has so many things going for her right now, and I’m going to be honest, this is the second interview with Lisa, because we lost the first interview after the server crashed. So, putting the good karma out there, hopefully it does not happen again, and we’ve gotten some great responses after the first interview, and guys, I know, I got the emails, and everyone’s been asking me, what happened to that interview? That is, I have no idea, to tell you the honest truth. I am not a tech wizard by any means, guys, I’m not at all. But, again, Lisa, thank you so much for jumping on the call with us once again. And, do me a favor, introduce yourself to the community, and let them know all about you.
